]]>When you see a cockroach inside of your home, your first reaction may be to kill it, but it is also important to learn how cockroaches enter your home so that you can know how to prevent cockroaches from entering your home again.

First, it is important to state that cockroaches are attracted to food, which is why you need to make an effort to keep your kitchen and other rooms as clean as you can! Always make sure to clean up after cooking meals, and try to vacuum or sweep your floors every day.

Another way that cockroaches can enter your home is through cracks in your walls, so make sure to fill these cracks with caulk, and inspect your walls regularly. If you have to fill a crack in your wall with caulk, it is easy to cover up the repair with paint once it has completely dried.

But if you are having a significant cockroach issue in your home, it is a good idea to call a professional pest control company to help control this issue. Tri-S Pest Control is available to help protect your home from common pests like cockroaches, and our expert technicians are available to answer any questions that you may have about our services.

]]>Why You Should Regularly Check The Walls In Your Home
While you may not think about the walls in your home on a regular basis, you should start checking them since cracks and holes in your wall can give pests an opportunity to enter your home!

Cracks and holes in your wall are unattractive to us, but they are attractive to pests since this is an easy way for them to make their way inside. Fixing cracks and holes is fairly easy, and all you will need is some spackle and a putty knife to fix small holes and cracks.

To cover the holes, place the spackle on the hole or crack and smooth it out onto the area. When the spackle has covered the area, wait for it to dry, and then you can paint over it to conceal the spackle. This task is fairly easy, so you can complete it when you have time.

Why You Need To Get Rid Of Cardboard Boxes In Your Home
Chances are, you probably have several cardboard boxes that are scattered across your home and garage, but it’s a good idea to switch to plastic boxes to prevent pests from attacking your home!

If you store your items in cardboard boxes, then pests like rodents can have a chance to chew through the boxes and get to your valuable items. Cockroaches also love to hide inside of cardboard boxes, so it’s a good idea to switch to plastic.

It’s also important to have plastic boxes inside of your kitchen so that you can protect your food. If you have a serious pest problem in your kitchen, then keeping your food in airtight plastic containers can keep your food safe from pests, and it can also keep your food fresh for longer.

]]>Pests will try to enter your home all year long, which is why it’s so important to know what can attract pests. Here is a good list from Reader’s Digest that reveals common things inside of your home that can cause pests to appear, so let’s check it out.

Dirty dishes: Since dirty dishes often contain remnants of food that you’ve eaten that day, it’s very important to stay on top of your dirty dishes so that you can keep your kitchen free of pests.

Spilled food: If you have kids, then spilled food can sometimes be an issue that can lead to a pest infestation. To keep your floors clean, try to vacuum or sweep at least once a day.

Stacks of paper: You may not think that stacks of paper that are laying in your office could attract pests, but cockroaches are often attracted to paper. If you can, try to scan important documents so that you can have a digital copy, and put other papers in a file cabinet. Learn More https://goo.gl/aEckXJ

If you’re dealing with a pest infestation, then you may have researched several pest control tips, but there are some common pest control myths floating around that need to be addressed.

The first myth is that there isn’t a pest infestation if you can’t see one. With pests like cockroaches, you won’t see them unless you’re constantly checking your home, so it’s better to have your home examined by a pest control professional.

Another common pest control myth is that having a pet in your home will help to control pests, but this isn’t the case. While your cat may kill a bug once or twice, they definitely cannot help if there is a serious infestation.

Homeowners have also been told that pests love dirt, but this doesn’t mean that you need to deep clean your home every day. To keep pests from your home, try to clean up as much as you can. Learn More https://goo.gl/ZAeWZQ

Why You Should Never Store Firewood Indoors
Storing firewood indoors is a bad idea since pests love to hide in pieces of firewood! If you want to keep firewood handy, make sure to store it outside and only carry it indoors when you need it.

How To Keep Your Outdoor Parties Bug-Free
Hosting an outdoor party that is free of bugs is fairly easy. First, always make sure that your property is clean, and get rid of standing water. If you can, consider screening in your porch, since this can provide you with excellent protection against pests.

]]>Mice may look cute when you see them, but having a rodent infestation in your home can be very frustrating. Since it is crucial to keep rodents away from your home, here are some tips from Good Housekeeping to protect your home.

First, you should always be proactive and look for potential entryways that could allow rodents to enter your home. Potential entryways for rodents include holes in baseboards, cracks in doors, and overgrown shrubs in your yard. Make sure that these areas are in good shape!

Since rodents are also attracted to food, always make sure that you use air-tight containers to store your food. Many homeowners may forget about dog or cat food, so make sure that they are also in containers, since rodents still may try to eat it! Learn more here! https://goo.gl/uSiJKo

You’ve probably seen several photos online of cute fireplaces with firewood stored next to them, but did you know that storing firewood inside could lead to a bigger problem?

One important thing to know about firewood is that pests love to hide inside of firewood. If you store firewood inside of your home, then you’re inviting pests like ants, roaches, and beetles inside of your home!

It is important to know that you should store firewood at least five feet away from the foundation of your home so that there is a safe distance to keep pests away. If you want to protect the firewood that is outside of your home, there are some options for outdoor storage like cabinets, which will keep your firewood dry if there is a rainstorm.

Although you may not be using your fireplace right now, it is important to know how to properly store your firewood so that you can be prepared for the later months! Learn more here! https://goo.gl/7Sxjip

]]>While bed bugs are quite small, no homeowner wants to deal with an infestation of these pests since they can cause quite a headache for homeowners! This article from NBC News has a great Q&A session from a bed bug expert to help you know more about these pests.

Question: Is a bed bug problem a sign of dirty living conditions?
While you would think that dirty living conditions would be the cause of an infestation, this isn’t always the case. Bed bug infestations are not related to sanitary conditions, but a cluttered area does give bed bugs the opportunity to attach themselves to your home.

Question: Can you become ill from a bed bug bite?
Bed bug bites can cause symptoms like redness, swelling, and itching. Fortunately, bed bugs have not been shown to transmit any human diseases. Click here to read more about this article: https://goo.gl/dwcq8c

We understand that washing your clothes as soon as you get home from your summer vacation, but it’s important to stay consistent with your laundry days since pests like bed bugs are attracted to dirty laundry!

According to a study from Rutgers University, researchers exposed to bed bugs to a pile of dirty laundry and a pile of clean laundry, and after 96 hours, there were approximately twice as many bed bugs on the pile of dirty laundry, which is very alarming!

Since bed bugs are known for attaching to your luggage while you are on vacation, it could also be helpful to bring plastic bags with you to store your dirty clothes to keep bed bugs from attaching to your clothing. These pests are very bothersome if you have them in your home, so it’s important to do all that you can to keep them away from your belongings!

Houseplants are a great way to decorate your home, but dealing with houseplant pests can be somewhat frustrating. This article from Martha Stewart can help you eliminate common houseplant pests so that you can keep your home beautiful.

Spider mites are small, red pests that prefer dry environments, and these pests will thrive from the moisture of plants. When they take the moisture, they will leave small dots on your plants, which can be very annoying. To eliminate these pests, make sure to regularly spray your leaves, and wipe them regularly to prevent spider mites from laying eggs.

Mealybugs are also a threat to house plants, and these pests have a cottony, white appearance. These pests are often found at the stem, leaves, and nodes of the plants. To keep these pests away, polish your leaves with neem oil to keep pests away.

]]>Now that it’s summer, you may be seeing an influx of common pests inside of your home, but how exactly do these pests make their way inside? This article from Family Handyman explains how common pests can enter your home so that you can make some necessary home improvements!

Beetles are a frightening sight to see, and these pests can get inside of your home through loose sliding doors or windows, which is why it is very important to keep them maintained. If you notice that your doors or windows may seem loose, try to fix them as soon as possible to keep pests out.

Cockroaches are also a common pest that homeowners despise, and these pests find their way into your home through clutter that is left in your house, since cockroaches love cardboard boxes. If you’re worried about pests, then try to keep your household clutter to a minimum! (https://goo.gl/pB1GHq)

]]>Gardening is a fun way to spend time outside, but it can be tough to get started if you’re a beginner. Here are some easy tips for beginner gardeners to help you build confidence:

One of the best tips for gardening is to know which plants grow in your area. This can be extremely helpful if you are looking to grow a large garden, so make sure to know which plants grow in the Tampa Bay area, since it is important to know that some plants may not grow well in the extreme heat that Florida can experience in the summer months.

Along with knowing which plants grow in your area, try to start with easier plants, since you may forget to take care of your garden from time to time. If you’re able to have some wiggle room with your plants, this can make it easier to get into the habit of taking care of your garden every day. Click here to read more about this article: https://goo.gl/EaJqtt

While you may make a significant effort to keep your garden free of weeds, it is still important to learn how to pull weeds in case a few pop up in your garden. Here is an in-depth guide on how to pull weeds from HGTV, so let’s take a look at this guide:

• The best time to pull weeds is after it rains since the soil will be wet. If you don’t want to wait, then pull weeds after you have watered your garden to make it easier.
• If you’re having trouble reaching smaller weeds, make sure to keep a garden fork on hand to pull them out quickly.
• Never leave bare spots in your garden, since this gives weeds the perfect opportunity to make their mark!
• After you have pulled weeds, please make sure that you don’t leave the roots in your garden! Collect them in a bag and dispose of them to keep your garden safe.

Gardening is a fun activity, so it is important to keep your garden safe so that you can enjoy your time outside!
